Overview

As part of Christopher Janney’s “Urban Musical Instrument” series, Harmonic Convergence is the new gateway to the Miami Airport. Composed of an 80 foot colored glass wall and an interactive multi-speaker sound-score based on the Florida Everglades over a 2000 sq. ft. space, this work embodies all the elements of Janney’s unique mix of architecture and music.

Goals

He sought to transform this neutral 1950’s airport interior space into a vibrant place highlighting the colors and sounds of South Florida.

Process

Janney’s company is what he calls “benign autocracy.” All opinions are sought, but the Artist is responsible to make the final decision.

The CODAworx Manifesto

Art matters. Attention to the details of our environment leads to love of place, which brings us to take responsibility for the spaces where we live and work. And by extension, the people with whom we live and work. And by extension, to our local communities, our cities, our nations, and our world.

We champion the role of artists in our society. We need artists to provide us with inspiration, creativity, and imagination, and to help us envision a better world.

Architects and designers know that remarkable design can change everything. They connect the dots across disciplines, collaborating with artists to make the world a more beautiful place. They are the ultimate patrons of the arts.

In the process, design professionals promote imagination and creativity, and through their commissions, make original art integral to and accessible in people's lives.

Art in our public and private spaces helps us fight ordinary buildings, ordinary streets, ordinary cities. We celebrate the extraordinary.

The architecture of our buildings and the design of our interiors affect our happiness and well-being. Each of us deserves a daily dose of inspiration.
